Can you make low carb popsicles in a candy mold?
Sure! Automatic portion control and a quick “something” when your sweet tooth hits!  Store the popsicle “bites” in a Ziploc bag in the freezer and snack away.

Can you be in ” ketosis” but not have the ketosticks change color?
Yep, especially if you exercise a lot.  Your body will use the ketones for energy during exercise and burn them off.  There won’t be enough to show up on the ketosticks.  Drinking lots of water can also dilute the ketones so they don’t register on ketostix.
